I've released a new ZDoom LE version to fix several bugs, mainly the problem with ACS strings. Also added the light definition for the megasphere and the unexplored secrets custom color in the automap. BTW i've updated ZDoom32 as well due to that bug (and the win95 LE version).

I've reuploaded the release since a guy has reported a crash with certain old unsupported dehacked patches. It was a GZDoom bug and it's fixed now. The good version is from march 20. https://github.com/drfrag666/gzdoom/commits/zdoomcl

I've released a new ZDoom Classic version, i thought it was dead. It's a minor update, i haven't ported the ACS stack checking since this is meant to run old mods and i think it wouldn't make sense. Also i've brought up to date the abandoned old version without the GL renderer. Apparently this is …

Well you won't believe this but it has happened again. :oops: I cherry-picked something that apparently was safe but it wasn't and broke some maps, there was some refactoring at certain point and somehow there was an infinite loop somewhere and game hung. So i've re-released the last version again …

I've got a 9000i with 512 KB of ram and i think it has a 16 bit RAMDAC. The driver diskette has drivers for the 8900D as well so they were sold at the same time. The 9000i was low end and performance wise probably was on par with the 8900C. 8900D had a FIFO buffer and was much faster.

I've reuploaded the release due to the severe performance regression in gcc 4.9.2, the game mostly ran fine but was very slow in extreme cases with a lot of actors. Now it's compiled with gcc 5.1 and still runs on win98.

I've just re-released 2.8.2, there was a minor thing and i've added even more missing official patches. I didn't feel like releasing 2.8.2a this time. https://github.com/drfrag666/gzdoom/releases I've also re-released 2.8.1c for win95. https://github.com/drfrag666/ZDoom-LE/releases

I installed win98 se on my pentium 133 with 32 mb back in the day and it ran like ass so i had to go back to win95. Win98 was not really acceptable with less than 64 mb of ram.

I can't edit the first post in my projects' threads to reflect changes. May be allowing unlimited editing at least for Release Announcements would be a good idea.

Actually Doom 1.2 ran pretty well under win 3.1. You get faster disk access and you can use virtual memory, in fact i managed to run Doom on a machine with only 3 MB of ram (you know it ran on 4 MB machines with an adequate config or a clean boot pressing F5 when the starting MS-DOS message appears …

Don't you think the problem is pretty obvious by now? Reinstall windows from scratch and then the right nusb33 driver for your OS language (english?). And finally install DX 8.0a.
